While some professors didn't care for her tardiness (as she was the one paying for school and their time), others would give her quite a scolding if she wasn't on their "good" list. What Akane was worried about was this war that was going on. And Lancer. What if he got curious and started to look through her stuff? What if he found her silly doodles, which consisted of ex-professors wearing googly glasses with runny noses? That would be embarrassing... she should have hidden them before she left. She ran her hand through her hair, turning a corner and beginning to make her way down the other hallway when someone crashed into her. Thankfully, she was caught before she fell, making Akane blink up at her "savior". It would have hurt if she fell back-first on the ground, and she would have bitten her tongue. She rubbed her head as she looked over the young man before her. He appeared younger than she was, or maybe it was because of his baby-like face? The way that people aged these days was weird.

New semester and all!"[/b] She gave him a grin, bowing in greeting to him. [b]"Name's Akane Inukai! You've probably seen me before, since I work at one of the shops nearby,"[/b] she told him cheerfully.[/color]
